Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole fish (like snapper or porgy), cleaned and scaled
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Score both sides of the fish lightly with a knife.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the honey, lemon juice, paprika, and garlic powder.
  4. Season the fish generously with salt and pepper, both inside and out.
  5. Place the fish on a grill or in a baking dish.
  6. Brush the honey-butter glaze all over the fish, ensuring it’s well coated.
  7. Grill or bake for 15-20 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste with more glaze halfway through cooking if desired.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the fish is completely thawed if using frozen.
  • Adjust the amount of honey for your desired sweetness.
  • You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze for a little heat.
